Canon's 5-color dye and pigment reactive inks combine a pigment-based matte black ink with four vivid dye-based inks: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. Reactive ink technology, which utilizes the reaction when matte black ink is combined with dye color ink, prevents ink from spreading at borders between color and black output to achieve black text and lines that are clear and sharp. Two matte-black ink tanks ensure high-speed printing with a placement accuracy of ±0.1% and minimum line widths of 0.02 mm for CAD applications, which require ultra-fine lines and ultra-small text.
